Is it an iron or alum block? How about the cam and fuel management system? And what blower head unit are you running?

Reason I ask is my buddy has an 4th gen TA with an LQ9 427 stroker with a D1 blower, ported Dart 225 heads, custom blower cam, Fast LSXR intake and BS3 fuel management he made about 660rwhp with about 8#'s of boost. he's currently swapping it from T56 to TH400 and is upgrading his fuel system. Looking to push 12-15#'s. He's been sorting this motor for quite sometime a local shop screwed him for some huge $$$

If you need any help I can get you in touch with his current shop and tuners up here.

It's a LS2 aluminum block, I would have to find the cam card to tell you what the specs are, the head unit is a F1. I built this off of my buddies C5 vette that ended up making 800hp with less intercooler than I have. Everything else was exactly the same and he did have belt slipping issues. The fuel system is a 2002 Camaro computer with 60 lb fuel injectors and dual Walboros with the 2nd one kicking in at 4 psi of boost. I think once the Pro Charger comes back I will be investing in the Cartek flip drive set up for the Corvette bracket system. This corrects the slipping issue and has been proven to be more reliable. The Corvette bracket system seemed to fit the best in a 1st gen when running a Pro Charger, along with it comes the slipping issue.

Good stuff, my buddy is running the F-body drive since its in a 4th gen. He also had belt slippage issues and installed some kit I cannot remember the name, I'll ask him and find out, I also know he rebuilt his head unit with some type of bearings again I'll have to check the details with him and get back to you. Good luck I think you'll get it sorted and the #'s where you want them.

Yeah, please let me know what he went with and if it is reliable.

You need this if you want to stop the belt slippage issue

I put one on a customers 04 Z06 that was eating belts and it cured all the problems. Well thought out kit that looks good too.

Good luck getting it all sorted out.

Thanks, I am planning on calling them tomorrow to get some measurements.

This is the kit my buddy is running on his 4th gen: http://www.sd-concepts.com/documents/LS1Tensioner.pdf maybe call them and see if they have it for the vette accessory drive?

He's also running 83# injectors and an Aeromotive Eliminator fuel pump in a custom sumped tank.
